Before we get too excited about Libya

Okay, so sure, Libya has been apparently liberated from it's dictator, Muammar Qaddafi (or however the spelling du jour is right now) and Democracy, with a capital D is going to break out there. Hip, hip, hooray, right? Except slow down, cowboys and girls. As was pointed out last evening on "The McGlaughlin Group" on PBS, Libya is home to no less than 140 tribes. Yikes. Anybody hear Iraq in this? So no leader, thus creating a power vacuum, 140 different tribes, all jockeying for power and then you have the Shiia' and Sunnis also wanting to be "top of the heap", in terms of power. More yikes. So what has been suggested, in light of all this information? It was suggested on that same show last evening that our President Obama send in US troops so Democracy breaks out. Ugh. Not good. Fortunately, it was also suggested that maybe England and France, etc., get their troops on the ground in Libya. Now THAT'S an idea I think has great merit. Let them have at it for once. Here's hoping.
